Across the Universe

I love sci-fi. I'm most all it's forms...if done well. Even B rated ones can be fun.

But millennial drama is not for me. It's this kind of recipe that killed stargate universe

The alien akkai are so nebulous in manifestation that it makes the enemy gimmicky. Especially this arm chair psychiatrist approach. And then I'm a cheap way of making it not be a total soap opera...they throw out a bunch of F bombs to make the show seem tough and manly. But really it comes across stupid and I'll timed (if needed at all)

Just seems like the dream episodes that a sci-fi show will do once or twice within 5 seasons. Except, for Thai show....every episode is turning out to be this. Thank heavens Foundation and Dune are out and so I have a real sci fi show to watch.

Title says it all!

As someone who is really into space, my favs being Interstellar and The Martian, this is totally unrealistic from what you would expect from the crew. They are supposed to be experienced and work together on whatever mission they are given. Yet here everyone is in their mid 20's and wanting to pick an argument/fight with anyone for close to no reason. Some of the reactions of the crew and scientists on Earth are a bit exaggerated & over the top.

Loads of space "crashes" and "bumps" that felt the same. Really hope they mix it up, already stated to get old, and this is just the first episode.

Space and the settings looked good! No real complaints there yet.

Looking forward to where this goes with the Aliens!

Episode 1.01 (2 out of 5 stars).

After a mysterious alien object lands on Earth. A space crew led by Niko (Katee Sackhoff) are sent on a mission to trace the origins of this object. And to find out the purpose of the object.

The plot and concept idea are borrowed from other sci fi space movies. Like Arrival, Annihilation, and Alien. Except this series has dumb characters. The space crew alone are selected to save our planet except they are arrogant and dumb. Niko is already conflicted with one of her crew. Who is trying to challenge her in leadership. Which he risks putting the crew in danger for his own decision. The sub plot with the crew questioning Niko's loyalties is dumb. Meanwhile, her husband (Justin Chatwin) is trying to communicate with this alien object.

The script and direction is terrible. Characters are making stupid decisions, dialogue is dumb, and it is just unbelievable. The pilot episode is also very dull with its direction making it hard to watch the next.

Bunch of milenials at a rave in space. Don't bother lasted 15m.

I'm going to be completely fair as this was only episode one. I'm a massive fan of the genre and katee sackhoff brought this to my attention the minute it was announced. The first 10 minutes of the episode felt like a recap of previous episodes where we'd actually seen some story/character development prior to the ship leaving. In reality it was events that basically already happened and we are joining the story a quarter way through. I didn't like that. I'm half way through this series and will say it does get better but I wouldn't hold hopes for season 2. The pilot is pivotal to continued viewership and it seems most people thought the same. It's a shame
